HOTEL MATTERS.—Messrs Bell &
Mason, who have controlled the Com-
mercial hotel here for several years,
dissolve partnership shortly, and the
business will be continued by Mr Bell,
who has taken a fresh lease of the pro-
perty for three years. The house bas
been well managed and will no doubt
maintain its excellent reputation, but
a number think that Mr Bell should
geta partner—of the opposite sex. Mr
Mason has leased Martin's Hotel, at
Saltford, and will assume control
thereof. We are sorry to lose him
from our midst, for he bas proved him-
self a law-abiding and well-behaved
citizen, and we have no hesitation in
saying that if hotels generally had
been conducted as these wen conduct
them, there world have been little
fault found with them.
